Jack knew she was a spoiled brat, and didn't mind anyone else knowing it. It helped to make her the colorful character she was.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you have good memories of her. Her maternal instincts were more obvious with her grandchildren than her children. Maybe it was Deedo's example that helped her be a more attentive grandmother than mother.C J Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873398223603924353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22059106.post-39672640316809630762007-03-16T12:56:00.000-05:002007-03-16T12:56:00.000-05:00She certainly had her faults, but my don't we all?...She certainly had her faults, but my don't we all? What good memories do you have of Jack? I remember her always ready to play a song to entertain me, I remember her saying, "Now whose turn is it?" when I would take too long playing Scrabble, I remember her sweet hugs and kisses for me no matter where I'd been or what I'd done, I remember everyone loving her at the People's Bank (they made a special receptionist's desk for her in the foyer, remember?), and the love of everyone in Baldwyn. So many good memories I have of her, it truly makes me cringe to watch you go on about what a spoiled brat she was in your eyes. She was both good and bad, vain and frail, as we all are, Mom. Can we just speak kindly of her now that she's gone?Zoilushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176632025151537474noreply@blogger.com
